Love sonnets are for romantics, starry-eyed lovers and ardent hearts. And Shakespeare''s sonnets are the best ever written. But this is why they are also for cynics, for star-crossed lovers and for those who know the anguish of unrequited love.

Some appear to be written to a young man, some to a womanAnd although the poems are full of mystery - why did Shakespeare write them, and to whom? - each one speaks to us from across the centuries of love, hate and the intensity of being alive.
